YMMV / Weird Or What

• Hilarious in Hindsight
  • Like pretty much every show that talked about the 2012 apocalypse theories, those segments become ironically funny now that the year has come and gone and the world didn't end.
  • One segment has a woman suggest that hospitals would make logical places to run an undercover meth lab, since it's an environment with strange smells, chemicals being moved around, and restricted areas that are off-limits, and so it's possible a meth lab could discretely operate within a hospital without notice. She didn't offer any opinion on hiding a meth lab inside a laundromat.
• Just Here for Godzilla: Shatner is the main reason most people remember and watched the show.
• Narm: The show seems to be going for this intentionally as an Affectionate Parody of speculative documentaries. However, some segments stand out for being even sillier than the norm.
  • One segment involves two women (one of which has the name "Starfire") who claim that a woman materialized out of thin air in the ladies room they were in, and they are adamant that bathroom was too small for them to have not seen someone who was already in there. They put forth the idea that the woman was a time traveler who had come back in time and appeared in the bathroom. Also, the other woman was Anne Strieber and her husband Whitley Strieber was also present.
  • They cover the story of Shayna Richardson, a skydiver whose parachute didn't deploy and she landed in a parking lot from a freefall, and she not only survived and made a full recovery (after a lot of surgeries, of course), but she didn't know she was pregnant at the time and the baby also survived and with no complications. One of the persons interviewed for a theory on how Shayna could have survived such a fall suggests that an angel saved her and slowed her descent to a survivable state. The show usually doesn't propose paranormal explanations for real, documented incidents like this, which makes this segment stand out more for letting such an explanation slip in. It's made even sillier when some edits of the episode include the woman proposing the angel theory saying that she can't accept Shayna survived without a parachute through sheer luck, and she'd need strong scientific evidence to believe that.
  • A case on Patience Worth has a medium claim to contact Patience's spirit herself, and the message Patience sends is to warn about World War III and 2012. It's as though she purposefully picked two of the most overdone, cliche prophecy tropes she could think of, which makes it come off as a joke.
  • "Parallel Worlds" includes a segment on the Crystal Skulls, during which an expert claims that quartz crystals have the power to exist in multiple dimensions at once and the crystal skulls could be the key to interdimensional travel, and they may have been left on Earth by "other intelligences" to help spur humanity into technological, social, and philosophical breakthroughs. The "expert" directly says that humans need to open their minds to the paranormal happening around them, and if we just accepted these incidents instead of trying to explain them rationally, he thinks the world would be a happier place and people would have more peace about themselves and each other.
• So Bad, It's Good: If the show isn't trying to funny on purpose, then it qualifies for this trope on account of how much cheese oozes from every shot.
